Dataflow pipelines simplify the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming data processing and can run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Beam also brings DSL in different languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration processes."><link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700" rel=stylesheet><link rel=preload href=/scss/main.min.408fddfe3e8a45f87a5a8c9a839d77db667c1c534e5e5cd0d957ffc3dd6c14cf.css as=style><link href=/scss/main.min.408fddfe3e8a45f87a5a8c9a839d77db667c1c534e5e5cd0d957ffc3dd6c14cf.css rel=stylesheet integrity><script src=https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js></script><style>.body__contained img{max-width:100%}</style><script type=text/javascript src=/js/bootstrap.min.2979f9a6e32fc42c3e7406339ee9fe76b31d1b52059776a02b4a7fa6a4fd280a.js defer></script>

This means that those
operators are grouped together starting from the left and moving right. For
example, the expression:</p><p><code>x AND y AND z</code></p><p>is interpreted as</p><p><code>( ( x AND y ) AND z )</code></p><p>The expression:</p><pre tabindex=0><code>x * y / z
</code></pre><p>is interpreted as:</p><pre tabindex=0><code>( ( x * y ) / z )
</code></pre><p>All comparison operators have the same priority and are grouped using left
associativity. However, comparison operators are not associative. As a result,
it is recommended that you use parentheses to improve readability and ensure
expressions are resolved as desired. For example:</p><p><code>(x &lt; y) IS FALSE</code></p><p>is recommended over:</p><p><code>x &lt; y IS FALSE</code></p><h2 id=element-access-operators>Element access operators</h2><div class=table-container-wrapper><div class=table-wrapper><table class=table-wrapper--equal-p><thead><tr><th>Operator</th><th>Syntax</th><th>Input Data Types</th><th>Result Data Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>.</td><td>expression.fieldname1...</td><td><span>STRUCT</span><br></td><td>Type T stored in fieldname1</td><td>Dot operator.

require both operands to be of the same type. If operands are of different
types, and if Cloud Dataflow SQL can convert the values of those types to a
common type without loss of precision, Cloud Dataflow SQL will generally coerce
them to that common type for the comparison; Cloud Dataflow SQL will generally
<a href=/documentation/dsls/sql/zetasql/conversion-rules/#coercion>coerce literals to the type of non-literals</a>, where
present. Comparable data types are defined in

(=), not equal (!= and &lt;>), and IN.</p><p>The following rules apply when comparing these data types:</p><ul><li><dl><dt>FLOAT64</dt><dd>All comparisons with NaN return FALSE,
except for <code>!=</code> and <code>&lt;></code>, which return TRUE.</dd></dl></li><li>BOOL: FALSE is less than TRUE.</li><li>STRING: Strings are
compared codepoint-by-codepoint, which means that canonically equivalent
strings are only guaranteed to compare as equal if
they have been normalized first.</li><li><code>NULL</code>: The convention holds here: any operation with a <code>NULL</code> input returns
<code>NULL</code>.</li></ul><div class=table-container-wrapper><div class=table-wrapper><table class=table-wrapper--equal-p><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Syntax</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Less Than</td><td>X &lt; Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is less than Y.</td></tr><tr><td>Less Than or Equal To</td><td>X &lt;= Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is less than or equal to Y.</td></tr><tr><td>Greater Than</td><td>X > Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is greater than Y.</td></tr><tr><td>Greater Than or Equal To</td><td>X >= Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is greater than or equal to Y.</td></tr><tr><td>Equal</td><td>X = Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is equal to Y.</td></tr><tr><td>Not Equal</td><td>X != Y<br>X &lt;> Y</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is not equal to Y.</td></tr><tr><td>BETWEEN</td><td>X [NOT] BETWEEN Y AND Z</td><td>Returns TRUE if X is [not] within the range specified.

matches a pattern specified by the second operand Y. Expressions can contain
these characters:<ul><li>A percent sign "%" matches any number of characters or bytes</li><li>An underscore "_" matches a single character or byte</li><li>You can escape "\", "_", or "%" using two backslashes. For example, <code>"\\%"</code>. If you are using raw strings, only a single backslash is

operand is required to be a literal, although using a literal on the right is
most common. X is evaluated only once.</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><p>When testing values that have a STRUCT data type for
